Anti-Clericalism
Anti-Clericalism is defined by opposing clericals and the societal influence of organized religion in both governmental and public affairs. This differs from being anti-religious since you can just oppose organized religion but not religious practices themselves, and not all anti-clericals are atheists.
Anti-clericalism has been practiced by both religious people and anti-religious people, such as during the protestant reformation during Europe or in state atheist countries like the USSR.

Boffin
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
